or a chemical-resistant apron in addition to the othr fo<;uired PPE. • • • • • 
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If 
no such instructions for wash ables, use detergent and hot water. 
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. After each day of 
use, dothing or PPE must not be reused until it has been deaned. 
Engineering Controls Statements 
If this container contains 5 gallons or more in capacity, do not open 
or pour. A mechanical system (such as a probe and pump or spigot) 
must be used for transferring the contents of this container. If the 
contents of a non-refillable pesticide container are emptied, the probe 
must be rinsed before removal. If the mechanical system is used in a 
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection 
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4)J, 
the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as 
specified in the WPS. 
When handlers use dosed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a 
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection 
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(0)(4-6J, 
the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as 
specified in the WPS. 
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 
Users should: 
Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using 
tobacco or using the toilet. 
Remove contaminated clothing immediately if pesticide 
gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean 
clothing. 
Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. 
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as 
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is 
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not 
apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Spray 
equipment used in applying this product should be thoroughly 
deaned before using for any other purpose. Use repeated flushing 
with soap and warm water or suitable chemical cleaner. It is best to 
use a separate sprayer for application of insecticides and fungicides. 
Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of 
washwaters. This product will kill or seriously injure many desirable 
forms of vegetation. Do not apply directly to flowers, fruits, 
vegetables, grapes, omamentals, cotton or other desirable plants. Do

not use when there is hazard from drifting mists. (Coarse sprays are 
less likely to drift.) Vapors from this product may injure susceptible 
plants in the immediate vicinity. Avoid contamination of water used 
for domestic purposes and irrigation purposes. Excessive amounts of 
this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit 
seed germination and plant growth. 
This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may 
adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not 
apply directly to water except as specified on this label. Do not 
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. 
GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION 
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy 
herbicides such as 2,4-0 have been associated with mixing/loading 
and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 
2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of 
groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or 
transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. 
Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to 
contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. 
CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION 
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner 
inconsistent with its labeling. 
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other 
persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may 
be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to 
your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide 
regulation. 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the 
Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard 
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on 
farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of 
agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, 
decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also 
contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the 
statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) 
and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply 
to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection 
Standard. 
Do not enter or allow entry into treated areas during the restricted 
entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with 
anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is: 
Coveralls 
Chemical-resistant gloves 
Shoes plus socks 
Protective eyewear 
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are 
NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for 
agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when 
this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, 
nurseries, or greenhouses. 
For Turf Sites (excluding sod farms): Do not allow people (other than 
applicator) or pets on treatment area during application. Do not enter 
treatment areas until dust has settled. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
PROHIBITIONS: Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage 
or disposal. Do not store under conditions which might adversely 
affect the container or its ability to function properly. 
STORAGE: Do not store below temperature of 00 F. If frozen, warm 
to 400 F and redissolve before using by rolling or shaking container.

manner. Store in original container only. Keep container tightly 
closed when not in use. Reduce stacking height where local 
conditions can affect package strength. Personnel should use 
clothing and equipment consistent with good pesticide handling. 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper 
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate,is a violation of 
Federal law and may contaminate groundwater. If these wastes 
cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact 
your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the 
Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office 
for guidance. 
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Completely empty bag into application 
equipment. Then dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by 
incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. 
If burned, stay out of smoke. 
This product can reach groundwater from improper handling. To 
minimize groundwater contamination from spills during loading, and 
cleaning of equipment, take the following steps: 
Handling; When handling this product, wear chemical resistant 
gloves. Wash nondisposable gloves thoroughly with soap and water 
before removing. If spills occur, collect the material and dispose of 
by following disposal instructions on this label. 
Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the 
washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from 
wells and other water sources. 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
Weed Rhap® Low Volatile Granular D is formulated by 
impregnating selected mineral granules with low volatile 2,4-0 ester, 
to minimize drift. The 24/48 mesh size is recommended for the 
control of certain weeds which infest turf grass and crops such as 
corn, strawberries, and cranberries. 
Avoid application to susceptible plants, because this product may 
injure plants such as colton, soybeans, tomatoes, beans, fruit trees, 
and ornamentals. DO NOT allow particles or dust to drift onto 
desirable crops or plants. 
Although this product contains a low volatile ester, it should be used 
with caution where spreading vapors can damage nearby susceptible 
plants.

It is best to use separate equipment for applying 2,4-D granules. 
Should the same equipment be used for applying other materials, 
however, clean it thoroughly before such use to remove all traces of 
2,4-D particles or dust. 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
ORNAMENTAL TURF such as lawns, golf courses, cemeteries, and 
parkways: To control wild onion and broadleaved weeds such as 
dandelion, plantain, ivy, bitterweed, and dogfennel, apply 10 to 15 
Ibs. of granules per acre in early spring when shoots are young and 
actively growing, using a mechanical spreader. Repeat application in 
one month to control skipped spots. Weeds over 6 inches tall are 
sometimes resistant and should be sprayed with Weed Rhap® A-4D 
or Weed Rhap® Low Volatile 4D. 
NOTES FOR ALL TURF SITES: (excluding sod farms): 
The maximum number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 
2 per year. 
DO NOT USE on bentgrass, St. Augustine grass, dichondra, 
carpetgrass, or newly plugged or seeded turf. 
IN CORN: For pre-emergence application to aid control of annual 
grasses such as large and small foxtail, crabgrass, and 
bamyardgrass; and broadleaved weeds such as smartweed, 
sunflower, wild mustard, cocklebur, bindweed, dandelion, and 
momingglory, apply as follows: With a granule applicator designed to 
apply a band over the planted row, apply 3 to 3-1/4Ibs. per acre in a 
band 14 inches wide when rows are 42 inches apart. If the planting 
varies from this standard band width, or row separation, the granules 
should be applied proportionally. Be sure the granules are allowed to 
stay on top of the soil, preferably, they should be applied behind the 
packer wheel at planting time. Be sure the corn is planted 2-1/2 to 3 
inches deep, as damage may occur to shallow planted com. DO 
NOT apply on sandy soil. (For Com Belt Only). 
IN STRAWBERRIES: For pre-emergent application to control weeds 
such as crabgrass, foxtail, bamyardgrass or wintergrass, horseweed, 
bullnettle, carelessweed, morningglory, dock, smartweed, 
jimsonweed, and dandelion: Apply at the rate of 121bs. per acre over 
the planted area. Application should be made broadcast using a 
spreader-seeder previously adjusted to deliver 12 Ibs. per acre. 
Application should be made only in the dormant season (after first fall 
frost or before new leafing in spring). 
IN CRANBERRIES: For pre-emergent application to control annual 
broadleaved weeds in bearing cranberry marshes, apply at a rate of 
10 to 20 Ibs. per acre (2 to 4lbs. 2,4-D equivalent per acre).­
Application should be made broadcast in the spring after removal of 
the winter flood from the dormant vines. Weeds controlled are 
common ragweed, sticktight, teathumb, smartweed, Northem Saint 
Johnswort, and common species of annual smartweed. Careful 
distribution of the granules is necessary if adequate control is to be 
obtained. Granules may also be distributed on ice over plants prior to 
spring thaw (for Wisconsin area).
